Yuanta Denies 0050 ETF Split Rumor, Warns of Investment Scams

The Yuanta Taiwan Top 50 ETF, known by ticker 0050, is one of Taiwan’s most widely followed index funds and is managed by Yuanta Securities Investment Trust Co. An ETF split increases the number of units while reducing the price per unit, without changing an investor’s total holding value. Because split announcements can shape trading expectations and attract retail attention, false claims about the fund can quickly fuel market confusion and financial scams.

Posts circulating recently on Threads claimed 0050 would undergo a 20-for-1 split, turning one standard trading lot into 20 lots. As of July 26, 2026, Yuanta said the rumor was entirely unfounded and that it had not conducted any split in 2026. The asset manager urged investors to rely on official disclosures and warned that fraudsters may exploit the viral claim to lure users into unauthorized investment chat groups or other fraudulent schemes.
